Zed's Assistant supports MCP via context servers. Add Hail to let the inline AI place calls, send SMS, and dispatch email straight from your buffer.
Add the Hail MCP server using the snippet below. Paste it where this client expects MCP servers — the path varies, the shape doesn't.
Zed → Agent Panel → ⚙ → Settings → Add Context ServerJSON · ~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
"context_servers": {
"hail": {
"url": "https://mcp.hail.so"
}
}
}Reload the client. On first use it pops a browser tab — sign in to Hail (or sign up — takes 30 seconds), click Allow, and tokens flow back to the client. Send the prompt below — if a call is placed, an SMS lands, or an email shows up in the inbox view, you're done.
Self-host on your own carrier or claim a managed number. Either way, your agent picks up the phone in ~120 seconds.
